I think it's the other way around. The more you look at biology the more it becomes obvious why human designs look the way they do. The similarity is there, but human artifice came after biology so it's it which is similar to biology rather than biology being similar to it.

nice opinion but soon you'll realize living organisms are messy, god would have not allowed this level of disorder

>Nvidia hardware will be inside each car and is 40x more powerful than current Tesla processing power.

If this doesn't tell you that it's bullshit instantly then nothing will convince you.

>>8424070
Are you familiar with the huge investment nvidia made into specialized hardware for Deep Neural networks?

It's actually true due to the fact Nvidia is producing hardware that is domain specific to AI-driven cars.

Koch brothers have a loooooooooooooooot of money. Second wealthiest company in the world if I remember right. If scientists were bribed then the science would say oil cures cancer.

There are some issues science can be trusted on and some they cannot. Climate is one they can be counted on. Areas like psychology and social anthropology, no they just p-hack their way to the conclusions they want to arrive at.

Very well.

Let's get a bit more scientific, shall we?

Let's take Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

There's this one study that apparently suggests that they have provided the first "empirical evidence" for Narcissistic Personality Disorder:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23777939

To quote it:

>Background:

>Despite the relevance of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) in clinical settings, there is currently no empirical data available regarding the neurobiological correlates of NPD. In the present study, we performed a voxel-based morphometric analysis to provide initial insight into local abnormalities of gray matter (GM) volume.

>Methods

>Structural brain images were obtained from patients with NPD (n = 17) and a sample of healthy controls (n = 17) matched regarding age, gender, handedness, and intelligence. Groups were compared with regard to global brain tissue volumes and local abnormalities of GM volume. Regions-of-interest analyses were calculated for the anterior insula.

>Results

>Relative to the control group, NPD patients had smaller GM volume in the left anterior insula. Independent of group, GM volume in the left anterior insula was positively related to self-reported emotional empathy. Complementary whole-brain analyses yielded smaller GM volume in fronto-paralimbic brain regions comprising the rostral and median cingulate cortex as well as dorsolateral and medial parts of the prefrontal cortex.

>Conclusion

>Here we provide the first empirical evidence for structural abnormalities in fronto-paralimbic brain regions of patients with NPD. The results are discussed in the context of NPD patients' restricted ability for emotional empathy.

That thing seems so faulty in a multitude of ways.

I would go into it but anyone who reads it should immediately intuitively understand it's a retarded idea. Especially because the premise is based on determinism.

There are no meaningful benefits. Break the cycle and allow your son the bodily integrity to make his own decisions. It's not your body to decide for.

>>8417112
Not many benefits to removing it. But not really any benefits by having it either. Personally I say let it be, because don't mess with ain't broke.

In human speak and not low IQ ape that buzzwords to seem smart:

>The factors that act to attract, secure and consolidate investment may also have the effect of confirming a course for innovation, creating both ‘lock in’ of contingent technological forms and forward momentum along a particular technological pathway.

The things that bring in investment focus on one pathway of innovation.

>No matter which way one looks, the frontiers of technology are seen to be at one and the same time, frontiers of politics.

Technology should be politicized.

>"they consider it to be essential to put in place means for tracking social justice outcomes over time, and social justice goals in regulation of genome editing technologies"

We want to arbitrarily control technology based on our personal liberal feelings.

not like it matters

if they don't do it the chinks definitely will

>>8423251
They already are.

I sincerely doubt researchers are gathering groups of homosexuals and analyzing their genes and producing definitive evidence that this shit exists.

I am about 100% sure that all studies that say otherwise are probably funded by researchers / clinics with a left wing agenda

if youve ever watched porn with a penis in it, masturbated and ejaculated, youre as "gay" as you are "straight"

in b4

>dont look at the dick
repressed faggotry
>i like to learn how to fuck
by watching dicks, ok
>i get off by imagining im the guy
staring at his dick while jerking it, totally straight

heterosexuality, homosexuality are memes. everyone bisexual hehe

>fucked 12 girls and 3 guys

i think about dicks while fucking pussy and think about pussy while im sucking dick

And to add, before the people who say "hurr durr programming is just a subset of CS, real schools teach theory" take a look at the website more and notice how we learned tons of theory, not just programming.

>I'd say the only people who are smarter than CS are math majors.

The only thing that people dont call a meme on here is math. So, get over it.

no its because medical students are usually full of themselves and form cliches where they talk about medicine all the time and they become really irritating to be arond.... atleast where im from.

>tfw Feel like it's the true academic field.

When did ASPM and DAB1 gene come about?

ASPM seemed to bring about written language and modern civilization in the west.
I don't know but would guess that the DAB1 in the east had similar consequences.

>>8415569
Evolution kind of requires the pressure of natural selection. We've adapted to most pressures with our memes instead of adapting with our genetic material. In a way memes are an extension of ourselves and they've adapted far faster than physical evolution would allow. I'm sure our physical ability to use memes has been selectively bred to be strengthened over time.

>>8415569
We should just get over the ethics thing and start making designer babies. Evolution just works to slow for a species that only breeds ever 25 years, and there isn't enough external pressure anyway.
Designer babies are far more ethical than eugenics. And I'm not just talking about erasing genetic disorders, that's just the start.

>if only dumbfuck rednecks could be as smart as Californians

The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan would set aside 5.3 million acres for conservation and 3.8 million acres for recreation, compared to just 388,000 acres for renewable energy projects. Solar developers say that's not nearly enough land to build the projects California will need to meet its 50 percent clean energy mandate, let alone to push for 100 percent clean energy over time. While no one expects all 388,000 acres to be developed, companies say they need more flexibility as the search for the best places to build solar farms.

The party saving us from global warming

Shut down all their nuclear power plants and just teamed up with traditional utilities to stifle solar and wind.

You went wrong with four limbs, not to mention the hair... Aliens would have a completely different lineage from us, therefore it's unlikely that they had even remotely similar body structure to ours.

One word. Tentacles
might wanna consult with /d/ on this

>Aliens would have a completely different lineage from us, therefore it's unlikely that they had even remotely similar body structure to ours.

The lineage is not always important:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_examples_of_convergent_evolution

The environment is actually more important.

I'll just give an example

>stupid scripted actors that are not human
>media portrays them as randomly gaining consciousness

If this is the case we should ban all NPCs from video games. This is just ridiculous and only going to harm entertainment. A complete propaganda piece that is not based in anything real but will be cited as "hurr we need ethical control over AI and especially in realistic video games."

Maybe learn to make your own fun or read a book if you don't like propaganda in your bread and circuses.
